Calling all the font gurus...

OK, gents. Looking to pick up a Radiomir base dial to wear as a dress watch. I'm looking hard at Davidsens 210, for all the reasons everyone knows about. How do the fonts look? I compared them to some gen photos and they look pretty good to me, but I'm far from an expert.

Opinions?

I'm no guru but I thought about getting davidsen's 210 but just not sure. I think the font for both the indexes and the letters are close to perfect esp. the letters, the thickness, the spacing, the layout in relation to the indexes. It beats any other reps of the same model. However, I don't know if it's the pic, the indexes seem to be too far from the edge of the dial. Too much space from the edge, don't you think? I ended up getting davidsen's 232 for now, which I can't find any flaw. I will eventually get the 210 and I won't get it from anybody else but I want to make sure the spacing is not an issue or it is fixed. Davidsen is really good at listening.

Here's a pic of the gen. Bad angle, I think, but there is quite a bit of space there. Not sure if it's quite as much as Davidsen's but more than on a Luminor, etc.

Another gen pic:

Lending Your Gen 210 Pic, If You Mind I am sorry!
I have seen A Gen 210, 310 Radiomirs Base today and as in the lend pic You can clearly see The Dial Texts are Not white! This is even darker then the Lightgreenish Numeral and hands Lume.
It is close to A Darker ivory colour (Nothing to do with Hollywood-Stars teeth)

But Davidsen will be Your best Base for sure, Maybe You can ask him if he could make the texts A shade darker?
